Quality hunt, low impact, less competition, excellent 

 opportunities . 



Because I like it starting on Labor Day weekend. 



Other than the lack of snow and the dry conditions, I am very 

 satisfied with the standards set by the FWP. 



I am pleased with every aspect of archery hunting in Montana. 



Bow and rifle seasons should be moved back one week. 



Season is adequately long to prevent concentrated hunting 

 pressure. I can hunt all species and am not pressured into 

 tailing poor shots due to time, species or "either/or" pressures 

 (i.e. can rifle hunt if needed). 



Because I almost always see a lot of game. 



The length of the season is reasonable and so is the hunting 

 opportunity without harming any other type of hunter. 



The programs now have greatly improved the hunting in my area. 



Good season length; my only disagreement is with early opening 

 rifle season and rifle - moose season at the same time we are in 

 camof lauge. 



Season is sufficuent to locate and attempt to harvest game with 

 little crowding. 



I like it that many areas are open to either sex. Season could 

 be longer. 



Because I like to hunt bull elk during the rut. 



Because of the amount of game and hunters. 



Lots of opportunity and game nearby. 



Because I can shoot a cow elk plus I see more animals. Season 

 should be longer. 



I see a lot of elk and deer while out. 



Good numbers of animals (especially whitetails); like challenge. 



I feel it gives the hunter some quality time in the woods. 

 Lots of game. 



Lots of opportunity; good time of year.
